What this shows Bergstrom's Innovation Score is 42.3/100 (top 31% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Bergstrom?

Each dot is one of Bergstrom’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Bergstrom’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bergstrom's grants concentrate

Bergstrom, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 82.9% of grants classified under B60H (Arrangements OF Heating, Cooling, Ventilating OR Other Air-treating Devices Specially Adapted FOR Passenger OR Goods Spaces OF Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Bergstrom sits between Akonia Holographics LLC and BenQ Intelligent Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Bergstrom's three-year grant acceleration

Bergstrom, Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
